Chess4Chicago.com

ChessDad64 of the 64 Square Jungle notes that Lamarr Wilson has created a new website for the Chicago scholastic chess scene, Chess4Chicago.com. It includes a number of helpful links, including a very extensive article at Chessville which provides detailed suggestions about organizing and running a scholastic chess club.

The Chess4Chicago site also maintains a list of local chess clubs and information about upcoming events in the Chicago area. In addition, a nice photo gallery is available at the site. The "Getting Started" links are useful to any chess parent or coach looking for basic information, whether living in Chicago or not.

Congratulations to Lamarr Wilson on his fine work, and thanks to ChessDad64 for bringing it to our attention!
